Hello ,i am hoping to get some feed back on what the value of this guitar would be. I am thinking about buying it ,the fon # is 2696 and the owner said that the guitar was sent to gibson Kalamazoo about 30 years ago fo some minor repairs ,the front was also blacked and the pick guard was put on at that time . i also have not seen any more adv for sale with the herringbone strip down the back. Any help would be appreciated
